Format – items held on formats which are no longer in use, and are no longer easily accessible (eg floppy disks) will be considered but may not be automatically retained. 8.2. Physical Condition – if an item is in poor physical condition and the cost of conserving outweighs its continuing value, it will not be retained. 8.3.

Advice to depositors about what to do with parts of a large collection which are not retained will be given. 9.

Home First (Health & Social Care Moray) In addition, during COVID-19, the MTPB will support key decision-making required to develop and maintain service delivery.

The MTPB meets monthly and the agenda, papers and minutes will be available on the websites of NHS Grampian and Health & Social Care Moray. Here is a short overview of each programme. I. Dr Gray’s Hospital Transformation Programme has been set up to ensure the hospital can meet current and future challenges with the right profile and approach to service delivery. Dr Gray’s has an important future role serving the people of Moray, Grampian and North of Scotland. The programme will set out the range of sustainable services that can, and should, be delivered at Dr Gray’s as a District General Hospital. Dr Gray’s will provide care locally as well as regionally and develop new relationships with NHS Highland in order to transform and continue current service delivery. It will also build on its strong links with Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Aberdeen Maternity Hospital and Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital.

  • NHS Grampian Dr Gray's Hospital – Phase 2 Plan for Obstetric And
    NHS Grampian Dr Gray’s Hospital – Phase 2 Plan for Obstetric and Paediatric Services Recommendations 1. The System Leadership Team (SLT) of NHS Grampian has considered the phase 2 plan for the future delivery of obstetric and paediatric services for the women and children of Moray. This is being taken forward in the context of the wider development of Dr Gray’s Hospital as a modern District General Hospital (DGH) placed within a wider network of services across Grampian and the North of Scotland. It is recommended that the NHS Grampian Board: • Notes the obstetric and paediatric service proposals which have been formulated through engagement with public representatives and staff • Acknowledges the benefits and risks associated with delivering and sustaining the proposed services and supports ongoing assessment to ensure that the proposals can be delivered in a safe and sustainable way • Supports progression of the paediatric service plan, including further assessment of the requirements of the emergency department, with engagement and phased recruitment progressing in parallel. An update will be provided to the Board seminar on 5 September 2019 • Requests an update on the risk mitigations which need to be addressed before further progress of the obstetric service at the Board meeting on 1 August 2019. • Requests an outline description of the future profile of Dr Gray’s Hospital as a modern DGH at the Board meeting on 1 August 2019. Strategic Context 2. Dr Gray’s Hospital plays an essential role in the delivery of services for the population of Moray and west Aberdeenshire. Like other hospitals, its role has responded to changes in clinical practice and technology and this will continue as the hospital develops as part of wider networked pathways of care within the North of Scotland.

Please call NHS Grampian Corporate Communications on (01224) 551116 or (01224) 552245. 1 Consultative Draft January 2018 Formatted: Centered Introduction This document outlines the future governance framework revised arrangements for how adult and older people care services will be integrated and delivered by The Moray Council and NHS Grampian and is prepared in line with the requirements of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014. In developing revising theis2015 Integration Scheme we have engaged with carers, people who currently use health and social care services in Moray, and our joint workforce. We have also subjected the draft revised Scheme to an extensive consultation exercise and have made further changes to the original document based on the views and comments expressed by people and the organisations who took the opportunity to respond. During the consultation exercise we also informed people that the contents of this revised Integration Scheme will be final and it shall not be possible to make any modifications to the revised Integration Scheme without a further consultation and approval by Scottish Ministers. We also explained that the revised Integration Scheme will set out the parameters of our Strategic Plan which will present in more detail the changes to the way we propose to deliver integrated care services in Moray in the future. At a time when the health and social care system is facing significant demographic and financial challenges, we consider that this Integration Scheme will provide a strong foundation to how we can best improve the quality of care we deliver to the people of Moray.

In the northeast of Scotland AAA-screening involves collaboration across NHS Grampian, NHS Orkney and NHS Shetland.

Across the Collaborative AAA-screening is undertaken in urban, rural and island communities. The screening sites include the major mainland hospitals, community hospitals and island hospitals. AAA screening is undertaken by trained NHS nurses in Grampian/Orkney and by a Trainee Sonographer/Radiographer and Advanced Practitioner (Reporting Sonographer) in Shetland. Within the AAA-screening programme all men aged 65 are invited by postal invitation for an abdominal ultrasound scan to identify the presence of an AAA. Men with a normal abdominal aortic diameter (<3.0 cms) are discharged from the programme; men with a diameter between 3.0 to 5.4 cms are offered surveillance within the programme: and men with a diameter >= 5.5 cms are referred to the Vascular Surgery Unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) for assessment (with a view to undergoing open repair or endovascular aneurysm repair, EVAR). Men over the age of 65 years, who have not previously been screened, are also able to self-refer themselves for AAA-screening.
